Chapter 929 -929: Paternity Tests Not Allowed
Xiao Mo’s eyes were filled with depth and anxiety, but his face remained as calm and composed as ever.
“President Shen, I heard something happened, so I came back to the country to see if there’s anywhere I could be of help,” Xiao Mo said.
His voice was clear and formal, and his response was polite and perfect, leaving no room for criticism.
Shen Chi didn’t say anything, his expression was somewhat heavy.
“Has the acquisition in Los Angeles been completed?” Shen Chi asked Xiao Mo, his tone light.
“I bought a ticket for the return flight this afternoon,” Xiao Mo said.
Shen Chi watched him, his gaze profound.
For a moment, neither Shen Chi nor Xiao Mo spoke, and the atmosphere was somewhat cold.
It was the butler who came over and said, “Fourth Young Master, the Fourth Lady is calling for you.”
“Alright,” Shen Chi replied, then glanced at Xiao Mo and said, “Come in.”
“Okay.”
Xiao Mo followed Shen Chi into the room, and the butler closed the door behind them.
The room was warm, Xiao Mo took off his gloves, and looked around it.
It was a spacious room with a nice environment and plenty of light. The sun was hanging in the east, and the sunlight was able to shine through the window just right. The green floral curtains were half-drawn, and on the windowsill were several pots of vibrant green plants.
The fog outside had dispersed. Today there was not much wind, but the temperature was quite low.
Xiao Mo glanced around and naturally also noticed Xu Chaomu, who was lying in bed.
Shen Chi sat by the bed, his eyes caring and attentive; he softly asked, “What did you call me for?”
“Nothing much,” Xu Chaomu said with a smile.
In fact, she just wanted Shen Chi to come over and feed her, but now that Xiao Mo had suddenly arrived, she felt too embarrassed to ask.
Shen Chi was just about to speak when Xu Chaomu caught sight of Xiao Mo standing there and exclaimed in surprise, “Secretary Xiao is here.”
“Yes, he is,” Xiao Mo said, simply smiling at Xu Chaomu.
“Did you rush back from Los Angeles? Do you need to discuss something with President Shen? Well then, you two go out and talk. I won’t eavesdrop,” Xu Chaomu said with a smile.
Xu Chaomu’s face had a touch of color, not as pale as the day before.
Xiao Mo wanted to say something, but after moving his lips, he only smiled and said, “Then, madam, you rest well.”
“The butler is looking after me, I’m fine,” Xu Chaomu said.
Xiao Mo looked at her, and at that moment, Shen Chi walked up to his side and said in a deep voice, “Then let’s go out to talk.”
Shen Chi headed for the door, and Xiao Mo had no choice but to leave.
Together, they went outside and chose a quiet reception room, closed the door, and sat down.
“What’s the important matter?” Shen Chi looked at Xiao Mo and asked.
“I just heard that the lady had a premature birth. Afraid you were too busy to handle it all, I rushed back,” Xiao Mo said.
“You are well-informed,” Shen Chi said.
Xiao Mo didn’t say anything, just quietly sat opposite Shen Chi.
“She’s recovering well, but her baby is still in the incubator,” Shen Chi said with deep helplessness in his tone.
“Why the premature birth?”
“It hasn’t been determined yet,” Shen Chi said. “The preliminary suspicion is that there was an unidentified substance added to the milk.”
“President Shen, if necessary, I can stay and investigate,” Xiao Mo said.
“No need, go back to Los Angeles,” Shen Chi refused.
Xiao Mo was silent, and he nodded his head. He always complied with Shen Chi’s orders.
“Mr. Shen, how is the lady’s emotional state?” After a long while, Xiao Mo asked again.
“There are no issues for the time being,” Shen Chi said. “There’s no need for you to worry. Go to Los Angeles to handle the merger case, and, also, the matter I’ve entrusted to you.”
“Mr. Shen, the child has now been born; you could do a paternity test with this child,” Xiao Mo suggested.
“Not to mention that the child’s current condition doesn’t allow for a paternity test, even if it was possible, I do not intend to do it,” Shen Chi said gravely.
“I understand,” Xiao Mo nodded.
“As long as you understand.”
“Mr. Shen, you should take care of the lady. If there’s nothing else, I’ll make a trip to the headquarters and then fly back to Los Angeles this afternoon,” Xiao Mo said.
“Hmm,” Shen Chi silently consented.
Both of them stood up, Xiao Mo wanted to say something more but, seeing Shen Chi’s stern face, he swallowed his words.
“Take care on the way, and don’t overwork yourself,” Shen Chi patted his shoulder and said indifferently.
“You too, call me anytime if there’s anything,” Xiao Mo nodded to Shen Chi.
Shen Chi didn’t say anything more; he just saw Xiao Mo out of the hospital.
Xiao Mo’s car was just downstairs at the hospital, and Shen Chi accompanied him all the way to his car.
On the car window, a few blurry water vapors formed, and after Xiao Mo got into the car, he said to Shen Chi, “Mr. Shen, please go back.”
Shen Chi nodded, didn’t speak, just watched Xiao Mo drive away from the hospital.
More people had started gathering at the hospital now, with individuals passing by Shen Chi from time to time.
Soon, Xiao Mo’s car disappeared into the vast crowd, out of sight.
Under the sunlight, Shen Chi squinted his eyes, stood for a while, and then turned to leave the hospital parking lot.
He returned to the second floor where, at this time, the butler was already feeding Chaomu. Chaomu insisted on doing it herself, feeling somewhat embarrassed to have the butler feed her, but the butler wouldn’t allow it.
The butler cared for Chaomu as if she were her own daughter; she was very good to Chaomu.
“Fourth Young Master, you’re back. Has Secretary Xiao left?” the butler asked.
“He has,” Shen Chi replied indifferently.
Chaomu gave the butler a look and whispered silently, “Let, him, come.”
The butler understood, nodded, and cleared her throat slightly, “Fourth Young Master, I need to go and ask the doctor about the situation. Could you please take care of the Fourth Young Madam for a while?”
Shen Chi glanced at Chaomu and knew it was her mischievous idea.

He smiled, “Alright.”
The butler handed the bowl to Shen Chi and stepped out of the room.
“Has the doctor said anything about how the baby is doing?” Chaomu asked expectantly.
Her large eyes were filled with hope; maybe she could see her little bun soon…
Would her little bun be very skinny? She felt so heartbroken at the thought…
Shen Chi curved his lips into a smile, pretending to be relaxed, “They said it’s not too bad.”
As expected, Chaomu was very happy after hearing this, and a sweet smile spread across her face.
“I so want to see him…” Chaomu shook Shen Chi’s arm.
“No rush, eat something first,” Shen Chi said. “When he comes out, you’ll have plenty on your hands.”
Chaomu nodded and let Shen Chi feed her some lotus root powder.
The sun was gradually moving from the east toward the center of the sky. It was a desolate season, with withered trees along the roadside and a few leaves hanging forlornly from the topmost branches.
After leaving the hospital, Xiao Mo drove ahead, somewhat distracted.
Especially when he encountered a red light and stopped the car, his mind became muddled, to the extent that he forgot to press the gas pedal when the red light turned green.
